Your Week: June 27-July 3

FAMILY

Spruce Street Harbor Park

Penn's Landing's brand-new, two-block-long pop-up boardwalk and barges opens today. Go see what all the fuss is about: Hop into a net "pod" that extends over the river, play a game of shuffleboard, or just have a beer, and later, a nap in one of dozens of tree-slung hammocks. Buy some locally made crafts, too.

Spruce Street and S. Columbus Boulevard, 11 a.m.-1 a.m. (through August 31), free, drwc.org.

NHL Draft and Fan Fest

Celebrate the ones we'll get - and the ones who'll get away - right outside the place where it's happening. Street hockey, an obstacle course, bounce house and educational kids' zone provide pre- (today) and post- (tomorrow) draft distractions. Plus an art show (see story on Page 38).

Xfinity Live, 1100 Pattison Ave., 2-6:30 p.m. today, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. tomorrow, free, 215-218-4326, flyers.nhl.com/club.

Kids Corner Music Festival

Concluding event of the first indie-label kids music conference KindieComm has been opened up to the public. Lucky us, as the showcase boasts well-knowns Trout Fishing In America and Dan Zanes, plus equally strong, Latino flavored Lucky Diaz, winsome Jennifer Gasoi and our extra favorite kids popster Justin Roberts. His clever, catchy songs of youthful trauma tap responsive chords with those who remember as well as those about to experience.

Elvis Costello

From the giddy 1930s stroll "Walkin' My Baby Back Home" to his fresh-baked "The Last Year of My Youth," the Brittle Brit's hitting many bases in this marathon length, one-person show. Declan will be sharing lots of his-story, too: personal tales that led to hits like "Veronica" and transformed a not-quite "Radio Soul" into killer "Radio Radio."

Lainie Kazan

See-I

Reggae soulsters Rootz and Zeebo sharpen the rudeboy grooves to a razor's edge, pumped up by a mess of band members of Thievery Corporation. You'd swear they're from Kingston, not Washington, D.C.! Wilmington-spawned Grateful Dread (a/k/a Mustafaa) incants in the opening slot.

World Cafe Live Wilmington, 500 M. Market St., 8 tonight, $14, 302-994-1400, worldcafelive.com.

JJ Grey & Mofo

Southern soul and swampadelic rockers grip with grit and authenticity. Reasons why these guys keep building on the "base" without much radio love past Sirius/XM's "Jam On." With Thomas Wynn and the Believers.

STAGE

'Brothers of the Knight'

A definitely more fun, upbeat interpretation of the Brothers Grimm tale about 12 dancing princesses, this child-centric musical is the product of Emmy winner and choreographer Debbie Allen, who still believes kids oughta have big dreams.
